Overview

A portfolio for Nikhil Padhiyar, a Senior Software Developer with over 9 years of experience specialising in Android and Flutter development, progressing from Android Developer to Senior Android Developer to his current role. The site covers his real project work, including maintaining a medicine delivery app in Panama and leading a smart watch integration project, alongside education, core competencies, and contact details.

Why it was built

Client project: a personal portfolio for a Senior Android/Flutter developer, built to give him a shareable professional presence beyond LinkedIn and a PDF resume when reaching out to recruiters or clients.

Phone Mockup Component

A phone-mockup component frames project screenshots inside a realistic device bezel, an intentional touch for a mobile developer whose actual work product is app screens, not web pages.

Resume Download

A resume button links to his bundled resume PDF, matching the experience and education content already on the site so both stay in sync.

Tagline Cycle

A tagline-cycle component rotates through a short set of positioning lines in the hero, giving the top of the page some motion without needing a full carousel.

Tech Breakdown

Next.js 16 App Router

Static per-project detail pages generated at build time, appropriate for a portfolio where project content changes rarely.

Motion (Framer Motion)

Powers the scroll-triggered section entrances and the scroll-progress bar at the top of the page.

lucide-react

Used across brand icons and the navbar/footer for a consistent icon language without pulling in a heavier icon library.

Challenges
  • 1

    Representing real client project work (a medicine delivery app in another country, a smart watch integration) accurately without exposing confidential client names or proprietary details required careful wording in the project copy.

  • 2

    9 years split across three role titles at a single company needed a timeline treatment that reads as clear career progression rather than a flat list of dates.

What's Next

Adding a couple of App Store or Play Store links for shipped apps he can publicly reference would make the project section more concrete than description text alone.
